Emotions in writing?

Are very important...I believe. Why am I thinking this; simple, I'm a very random person with very random thoughts. I believe the whole 'Valentines Day' crap coming up is the cause of this, everyone being emotional and etc. Being forced to witness all these lovey-dovey-overrated stuff didn't help. (And no, I'm not a bitter, lonely person :P I just think the holiday is pointless.)

Anyhooooooo.... Emotional writing, it's the spice that can pull someone in, refusing to let them go. It's a very important--difference between the shelves and trash:P When your more 'involved' in your work it definitely turns out better.

Example: Around  two years ago, maybe a little more than that, I was writing Once Upon a Fairytale. It's my only true romance with a fantasy flare.

 That's when Tiana burst into tears. She threw her face in her hands, letting them get soaked. I honestly didn't know what to do... Moments later she removed her hands, and stared up at me. Her makeup was running down the sides of her cheeks, with all those tears.

"Cullen,"she cried,"I just want you to like me! I would do anything for you to notice me! These horrible clothes are embarrassing! But I thought I'd make you happy! Because I want to see you smile, I want...." she trailed off.

Seeing this girl cry, and for me... Seeing Tiana cry...

In that next moment I placed both of my hands on her face. I pulled her face close to mine and with my thumbs, stroked her running makeup away. Her eyes shot open wide, in surprise.

"I do like you,"I whispered, so quiet that I could barely hear myself.

I was beginning to spill out feelings;I couldn't stop myself...

 To me, it's my best piece of work. Why? I don't know, probably because at the time I (wouldn't say love then) was definitely crushing on someone. Do I believe the real-life feelings helped? Completely. Another example: my poem Loop. Short, sweet, one of my favorites...

The belt around my waist
That will do
Tightness encloses me
Air no longer comes down
All the memories of you rush back
So much, so fast
It rattles my core
Sends tears down my face
I'm tired of it!
I can't take any more!
Throbbing crashes against my neck
All the promises
Your words
They're what makes the floods come
What drown me
But I know I can't do it
I stop
The pressure goes away
Sending me deeper into my own abyss
I just wish someone would find me
Before my heart withers away into nothing

I wrote that... last May I believe. At the time I was rather... emotional, there we go XD haha! So the poem came from my heart--true emotion. Proving my point again!


Where is my rambling going?? Simple--if you're in love write a love story. If you're angry, write a pissed off-ish poem. If you're depressed, write some tear-jerking stuff. Then you'll be on your way to becoming an uber epic writer! haha!

Updated Blog!!:D

*Woots!!!!* New cool looking blog!!!! Makes me uber happy (reference towards the happy Sephiroth chibi up above) Thanks to Joe <3 I now have a fancier looking blog. He made use of the pages up above, and also made the font easier to read. I'll play around with it later, but pretty sure I'll just leave it as it is. He did change the name to simply 'Dominique Weldon' but I guess that sounds a little better.

Just gotta keep making this blog more popular. Easier said than done. Trust me, took more than a year to earn a 1,000+ fans on FB, so I know I have to just keep trying...

And I can feel the rambling going on. It happens when you're dead tired-__- Know what doesn't happen when you're dead tired? I'll tell you--writing. Can't afford to do anything tonight, because when you write in a sleepy daze you'll wake up, look at your work, and pretty much be like WTF...

I've had that happen plenty of times-___-

Still rambling, need to log off...sooooooo enjoy the new layout XD

Uber tired to say the least:P

Holy crap, this is how I feel right now!

Yeah, I'm tired, but oh well, it happens. My 'real' job made me stay out late the night before, also I had lots of school work to do-___- *joy joy* It left me drained today, meaning that I'm definitely not getting much writing done. Although, being a writer, I think that this stuff is usual. After all the publishers aren't going to care if you're a little outta it:P Which is pretty sucky because who wants to work when they're half asleep. You can't do anything right (I've typed so many mistakes right now, and I'm sure my grammar isn't the best either hahaha)

Oh well, have to write, write, write! If only books could write themselves; how great would that be? I'm thinking someone should invite something that can help me out with that.

Hahahahaha!

Noooo!!! D: Picnik is closing!!

Nooooo!!! I'm so sad to hear this! Yesterday I received an email saying that Picnik is closing down on April 19th 2012:(

Okay I know that the site is moving to google+ or something and that there are other editing sites...but still, that's not the point! I use picnik to edit my photos for cover art. It's like, the greatest thing in the world. One of my friends told me other places to go. I haven't heard of any of them, but I'm going to give them a try. After all, I don't think I have too much of a choice.

Until April I will continuing using my picnik

:(

Go me!! I'mma good student:D

First let me get this straight--my English teacher is sooooooo not a chick XD He's a guy, not a creepy looking teacher chick like so ------->
But it was the best picture I could find, although maybe I should of used a student... Oh well XP


Anyhoo, I'm pretty sure most of you know that I'm in high school, right? Well I am--a senior to be exact! *woots!* Kk, our school offers basically free college classes and the one I'm in is Comp 105. The class is required at all Iowa colleges, so the fact that I'm getting it for free (don't count the books lol) is pretty amazing!

Only the class itself worried me. Since it's college-level it left me worried. I mean, they grade on a different level; I didn't want to fail a class that counts as both college and high school! D: The first paper we had to write was a personal narrative. Mine was about my car--long story, not gonna get into it lol. But I had my teacher read it to see how I was doing. Now need I add that he was reading my fourth draft, I went over it constantly, trying to make sure its perfect! He went over it quickly than gave it back to me.

Minor mistakes, but he said it was good!!!!!!

That makes me happy--and after all my hard work! I might be able to pass college! *woots! X3

Work

Grrrr my job -___-

While being a writer I also have a 'real' job, and that is at a local grocery store known as Fareway. I'm just a checker there, nothing cool or anything XP lols

Don't get me wrong I love my job, and the money is pretty great too lols. It's just there's some days where I'd rather be home working on my novel instead of checking out groceries. And considering the fact that I am a writer I'll probably have to keep this job of mine...

Hopefully one day I will have enough money where I can quit. That is my goal... So I think I need to start playing the lottery, or writing some books.

Which ever brings in more cash XD hahahaha!

Determined!! >:D

...To make this blog uber popular!! ...Or at least looked at -___- Reason being why it's not? Well that's easy, it's because I'm a lazy person who hates getting off her couch. Heck, I hate getting on the floor to play video games! XD So the fact that I can write and still be on the couch is a-MAZ-ing! One of the many perks of being a writer!

I ramble again. I do this a lot, and that's because I'm a random person for sure. Unless I'm working, being serious-that's a different story. But anyway, anyway... My Facebook page is wonderful! I love it to death! I've put in a lot of hard work and that's why the result of my hard work is pleasing:)

Now this on the other hand... is a different story. The reason why my Facebook page is updated consistently is because it's easy to do! I mean, I can update it anywhere thanks to the use of technology! In school, at home, at the store, wherever because of my cellphone and iPod. My blog on the other hand cannot be updated that easy. It's not like I can just carry a giant laptop around with me everywhere I go XD (Sure some people do, but those people don't have high school to deal with:P)

But I want to have a popular blog. I want people to see inside my head and possibly get a chuckle out of it! That's why I'm determined to put as much effort as I can into this blog! (Hence the determined anime girls. They're proving my point, hahaha!)

So far so good; I've updated it at least once a day. Today has been even more than that!:D Kks... Well guess I should probably write now since apparently that's what writers do. Silly, isn't it? XD hahahaha!
